Reading Minds

At times can read your mind

As though reading a novella

Written by Ruskin Bond

At times you turn mysterious

I'm left unravelling a novel

Written by Sherlock Holmes 

At times don't know what

Goes on in that mind of yours

Keep guessing if I've done 

Something wrong like one

Of the heroines Charlotte

Bronte wrote.

It's so hard to keep playing

The guessing game

So I sit on the Iron Throne

Try keeping open that mind

Of yours which continually 

Opens and close like

Slatted shutters of a window
